Lougher Contemporary is actively seeking selected David Hockney prints and editions on behalf of collectors, naming a group of specific works and inviting owners of signed prints to come forward. The Bristol gallery says its specialists are working with collectors looking to acquire pieces from across Hockney’s printmaking career, including ‘Hotel Acatlán: Second Day’, ‘Untitled No.20’ from ‘The Yosemite Suite’, ‘Mist’, ‘The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, East Yorkshire in 2011 - 24 April’, and ‘Lithographic of Water Made of Lines, Crayon and Two Blue Washes’.
The request appeared in a Lougher Contemporary email dated 6 August 2026, with the gallery framing the search as part of its consignments activity. Lougher Contemporary describes its service as a personalised strategy for sellers, using a worldwide network of art enthusiasts and a consignments team to connect artworks with the right buyers. The gallery’s website also positions David Hockney among its trending artists and includes editorial and guide content devoted to his market, collecting patterns and consignment process.
The call for works is not limited to the titles named in the email. Lougher Contemporary says it is also regularly seeking notable examples from a wider range of Hockney series, including ‘The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, East Yorkshire in 2011’, ‘The Arrival of Spring in Normandy’, ‘The Yosemite Suite’, ‘Moving Focus’, ‘Paper Pools’, ‘Some New Prints’, swimming pool lithographs and etchings, early signed etchings from the 1960s and 1970s, complete portfolios and rare editions. The gallery adds that it would still like to hear from owners of signed David Hockney prints even if the works are not specifically listed.
Hockney’s printmaking output is presented by the gallery as a long and varied field of collecting interest rather than a single series-led market. The works mentioned in the email span landscape, water imagery and seasonal change, reflecting the range of series the gallery highlights for consignors and collectors. The emphasis on signed prints and editions underlines the focus on the secondary market, where scarcity, condition and edition details can shape demand.
Alongside the wanted notice, Lougher Contemporary directs sellers to its consignment services, offering complimentary, no-obligation valuations, expert advice tailored to the artwork and access to an international network of collectors. The gallery says it can provide a fully managed consignment service for owners considering a sale or those who simply want to understand current market value.
Lougher Contemporary is based at 1 Henbury Road in Bristol and operates as a gallery with a strong emphasis on prints, editions and contemporary art sales. Its site also lists artist-focused editorial material on David Hockney, including ‘Selling a David Hockney Print: A Guide for Consignors’ and ‘Collector’s Guide to David Hockney: Pricing, Value & Collectability’, placing the latest request within an ongoing emphasis on the artist’s print market.
